Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.

Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Rest. Refer for medical attention .

Vapors cause mild irritation of eyes and upper respiratory tract; high concentrations may be anesthetic. Liquid irritates eyes and may cause injury; harmless to skin; if ingested causes drunkenness and vomiting. (USCG, 1999)

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. Lower alcohols (1-3 Carbons) and related compounds

If material on fire or involved in fire: Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped. Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible. Use "alcohol" foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 129 [Flammable Liquids (Water-Miscible / Noxious)]: HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. (ERG, 2016)

Use water in large amounts, powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.

Personal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Accidental Release Measures: Personal Precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective equipment. Remove all sources of ignition. Pay attention to flashback. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. In case of large spill, water spray or vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces. Isopropyl Alcohol, Reagent, ACS

2000 ppm (Based on 10% of the lower explosive limit for safety considerations even though the relevant toxicological data indicated that irreversible health effects or impairment of escape existed only at higher concentrations.)

Reacts with strong oxidants. Attacks some plastics and rubber.

Preserve in tight containers, remove from heat.

A very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame or oxidizers.The vapour mixes well with air, explosive mixtures are easily formed.ISOPROPANOL reacts with air or oxygen to form dangerously unstable peroxides. Contact with 2-butanone increases the rate of peroxide formation. An explosive reaction occurs when it is heated with (aluminum isopropoxide + crotonaldehyde). Forms explosive mixtures with trinitromethane and hydrogen peroxide. Reacts with barium perchlorate to form a highly explosive compound. Ignites on contact with dioxygenyl tetrafluoroborate, chromium trioxide and potassium-tert-butoxide. Vigorous reactions occur with (hydrogen + palladium), nitroform, oleum, COCl2, aluminum triisopropoxide and oxidizing agents. Reacts explosively with phosgene in the presence of iron salts. Incompatible with acids, acid anhydrides, halogens and aluminum (NTP, 1992). Isopropanol can react with PCl3, forming toxic HCl gas. (Logsdon, John E., Richard A. Loke., "Isopropyl Alcohol." Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1996.).

During distillation of 2-propanol recovered from the reduction of crotonaldehyde with aluminium isopropoxide, a violent explosion occurred. This was attributed either to peroxidized diisopropyl ether (a possible by-product) or to peroxidized crotonaldehyde.

When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.

Evaluation: There is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of isopropanol in humans. There is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of isopropanol in experimental animals. Overall evaluation: Isopropanol is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).

The substance is irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. This may result in depression. Exposure far above the OEL could cause unconsciousness.

The substance defats the skin, which may cause dryness or cracking.

A harmful contamination of the air will be reached rather slowly on evaporation of this substance at 20°C; on spraying or dispersing, however, much faster.

AEROBIC: Degradation of isopropanol with municipal waste water for 5 and 20 days resulted in a theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD) of 7% and 70%, respectively(1). Degradation of 3, 7 and 10 mg/L of isopropanol with filtered sewage seed in fresh water resulted in a ThOD of 28% in 5 days and 78% in 20 days(2). In 2 other studies, the ThOD for isopropanol using domestic waste water was 66% and 74% in 5 days(1). Isopropanol was 99% degraded with acclimated activated sludge at 20 deg C (52 mg COD/g-hr rate)(3). Filtered sewage seed resulted in a ThOD of 49% and acclimated sewage seed resulted in a ThOD of 72% after 5 days(4). Degradation of isopropanol with sewage at 20 deg C for 5 days resulted in a ThOD of 58% (avg 4 results)(5). In domestic waste water, diluted with salt water, a ThOD of 13% in 5 days and 72% in 20 days was observed(1). Biodegradation of 3, 7, and 10 mg/L of isopropanol with filtered sewage seed in salt water resulted in a ThOD of 13% in 5 days and a ThOD of 72% in 20 days(2). Isopropanol, present at 100 mg/L, reached 86% of its theoretical BOD in 2 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test which determined isopropanol to be ready biodegradable(6).

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for isopropanol(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.05(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of isopropanol can be estimated to be 1.5(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that isopropanol is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
